Genesis Tree in Core Game

First I want to say that in Keepers I did like the way in which I could modify the outcomes of Wombgifts with the Tree passivetree. I also liked it as some kind of temporary Power in form of very strong Rare Items.
However the Tree Rare Items greatly devalued any Rare Item found on the ground except influenced Items. I really like picking up Rare Items that I deem worthy to identify or use as a crafting base which was, with very few exceptions, a waste of time this league.
I want to highlight reasons for it not being a waste of time, Things that made the rare Items visibly special even unidentified:
Quality over 20% on the highest bases for example Twilight Regalia
Maximum roll on defence Base Percentile on the highest bases
Influence on an Atlas Base like Crystal Belt

I would like one of two things with the core going core:
Either make it so that ground Rares can with a reasonable chance be better than the Rare Items from the Tree
or
Introduce more things that make Rares from the ground special the first example that comes to mind are the Tiered Rares from PoE2 but I am sure that this is not the only way to make Rare Items from the ground more interesting.

In summary I want the Tree not to excessively reduce the value of picking up Rare Items from the ground. I do like the Foulborn and Currency from the Genesis Tree.

If you want ground loot to be more meaningful you have to play SSF(even there probably ok to not show rares on the ground and just use rog/tree whatever). There is no universe in which groudn loot can compete with well rolled items. The % quality bases is probably all there is when it comes to items from the ground. sadge

THe game is just the way it is right now, play for ressources, spend those ressources to get items. A change where rare items fro mthe ground would be meaningful woudl be significant to the game and it looks like they don't want that.

If you want to be efficient in trade league you pretty much have to run a filter that does not show rares anymore. It is what it is.
